Abstract
A data processing system (10) is provided that comprises a number of TPF mainframe computers (12a) and (12b) which use a number of MVS mainframe computers (24a) and (24b) to access tape drive silos (34), (36) and (38). The TPF consoles (14), (16), (18) and (20) are coupled to MVS consoles (26), (28), (30) and (32) through a network bus (22). The TPF consoles and the MVS consoles function in a client server architecture to provide for the communication of tape mount and dismount requests from the TPF mainframes to the MVS mainframes and for confirmation of those activities from the MVS mainframes to the TPF mainframes.
